Facility Overview

66 Kamehameha Hwy Parking is an open-air surface parking facility situated along the iconic Kamehameha Highway in historic Haleiwa on Oahu\'s renowned North Shore. Designed to accommodate both town visitors and coastal explorers, this spacious ground-level lot offers straightforward, unobstructed maneuvering without vertical clearance restrictions. This makes it an ideal stopping point for all standard passenger cars, large four-wheel-drive trucks, full-size SUVs, minivans, and high-clearance adventure vehicles carrying surfboards or recreational gear. The lot features wide drive aisles and a laid-back island setup typical of Haleiwa\'s welcoming surf-town environment.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Visitor & Driver Tips

Arrive before 10:30 AM to secure a prime stall and enjoy relaxed browsing before the midday rush. Always lock your vehicle, secure valuables completely out of sight in the trunk before arriving, and keep proof of parking displayed or active on your mobile device. If visiting nearby beaches, be sure to brush off sand and dry off before returning to rental vehicles to maintain vehicle cleanliness.
